Indian Motorcycles were made in Springfield, Massachusetts, within a mile of where basketball was invented and where the Springfield Rifle was made. Smith & Wesson was nearby.

I bet there are a hundred old Indian motorcycles sitting in garages in Springfield.

"The World's Fastest Indian." The movie featured Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins. . . .

We saw it last week. Good flick.

If they could just sell them at a price that the average person can afford. I can get a new Honda for $4000, just barely in my affordability range, albeit a Shadow 250, which would not haul my big rear end at any respectable speed.

If they plan on making it a successful venture, they need to rely on more than just a nostalgic name that Harley riders only remember with fond tales of yesteryear.

While we are at it let us bring back some other classic motorcycle manufacturers like Norton, Ossa, AJS, Rupp, and of course Hodaka.

I'm afraid that whoever owns the Indian trademark this time will have to do better than cobbling together a collection of aftermarket parts that amounts to nothing more than a copy of an obsolete Harley with valanced fenders (Which old time Indian riders didn't like much anyway) and an Indian sticker on the gas tank.

Its possible today to buy a near complete re-popped Chief
